Conflict and Change

Conflict and Change is a voluntary organisation building bridges of understanding within and between communities in Newham, East London, one of the most diverse areas of the United Kingdom. In 2010 we will celebrate 25 years of bringing Newham people together.

We do this through:

- A Community Development programme that works with diverse groups to plan and run inter-faith activities, building cooperation, trust and understanding between them.

- Community Conversations which bring together diverse people from a neighbourhood to get to know each other and talk about “hot” community issues.

- A community Conflict Resolution service that uses mediation to support neighbours, families and community groups who are experiencing conflict.

- Training programmes in communication skills, facilitation and mediation.

- Education programmes for children, young people and the adults who work with them.

- Working with diverse, local volunteers in all our programmes and who strengthen our connection with the communities we serve.
